High Salary PF

DeMarcus Cousins-Sacramento Kings (11,400): Cousins has posted two good games with over 54 fantasy points in his last two contests against the Sixers and T-Wolves, but the main reason to look to build around Boogie tonight is the 55-14-1 with three blocks he posted against Portland last Tuesday when he exploded for 83.5 fantasy points. He gets the same tasty matchup again tonight, and since the Blazers have struggled all season with opposing bigs, Cousins should be able to get another monster number.∗∗∗∗

Draymond Green-Golden State Warriors (7,700): Early foul trouble was not what Green’s owners were hoping for in their Christmas stocking, but the Warriors’ PF still managed to score 16 points to salvage a fairly quiet game in Cleveland where he posted just 26 fantasy points. He had at least 40 fantasy points in each of his previous three games and should be able to bounce back to around that amount of production tonight against Toronto as long as he can avoid the early fouls (and technical) that forced him to change up his game a bit on Sunday.∗∗∗

Kristaps Porzingis-New York Knicks (7,500): Porzingis had a good game for the Knicks on Christmas with 22-12-1 and four blocks against the Celtics for 50.5 fantasy points. He has been a roller-coaster ride over the last three weeks with four games in his last seven over 40 fantasy points and a pair of games with under 25 fantasy points during that same stretch. He’ll look to post another good line tonight in Atlanta against the Hawks who he had 19-11-0 against in late-November when the two sides met. Porzingis has a world of upside, but he can be inconsistent at times as you would expect from a second-year star.∗∗

Jabari Parker-Milwaukee Bucks (6,900): Parker had over 42 fantasy points in three of his last five games before struggling a bit on Monday with just 14-6-4 for 27.5 fantasy points. Parker should be able to bounce back against the Pistons tonight and he continues to have a huge amount of upside for a players under 7K on a nightly basis.∗∗∗

Serge Ibaka-Orlando Magic (6,200): Ibaka came up huge last Friday against the Lakers with 51.25 fantasy points on 19-11-2 and five blocks, but he only played 24 minutes against Memphis finishing with 28.5 fantasy points on 16-6-3. Tonight, he’ll be matched up against the Hornets as he looks to get to 35 fantasy points for the seventh time in his last ten games. ∗∗∗
